Nigeria's women bobsled team is making history by heading to the Olympics!

KweséESPN reports that Seun Adigun, Ngozi Onwumere, and Akuoma Omeoga, US-based Nigerian sprinters, headed to a hardware store about a year ago to put together a homemade wooden bobsled. The women practiced for 12 months on it, and now they're the first African bobsled team to qualify for the Olympics!

The ladies were already world-class athletes — Adigun, who ran in the 2012 Olympics recruited her fellow runners to form the team.

“I basically got into the sport of bobsledding in 2015 after a little bit of a hiatus from athletics,” Adigun told People.

“I also learned that Nigeria, the country, had never had any Winter Olympians … And then to cap it off, I learned that the continent of Africa had never been represented, man or woman, by any bobsled team. So I was like, ‘Okay, this is obviously something that is gonna hang over my head if I don’t step in and try and do something about it.’ ”

The women used crowdsourcing to raise money before attracting bigger sponsors, like Visa.

“When we first heard the story of these three remarkable athletes who make up the Nigerian Women’s Bobsled Team, we knew we had to add them to Team Visa. As former track stars, they are redefining history for their country, and we wanted to support them on this journey by providing them with a platform to inspire others and share their story,” said a rep for the company.
